UPDATE 8/3 10:51 A.M. EST: Per TMZ, Travis’ team has denied erasing Amanda Lepore from the album image. The final version of the album cover was exactly what he got from LaChapelle. Case closed??
Travis Scott revealed the cover for his upcoming album Astroworld on Tuesday.
He proudly referenced photographer David LaChappelle…
DAVID LACHAPELLE THANK U FOR BRINGING ASTROWORLD TO LIFE WHATS IN STORE I CANT WAIT.
— TRAVIS SCOTT (@trvisXX) July 31, 2018
But he apparently didn’t have that much pride in the work. At least, one aspect of it.
Take a look (below):

Only… it was missing something…
Yep!
He edited out trans model Amanda Lepore from the photo!
And yes, she noticed. She posted the original pic to her own Instagram shortly after, writing:
It was great being part of @david_lachapelle s incredible photograph of @travisscott s albulm cover but I’m curious why I’m not on the picture @travisscott posted 💋â¤ï¸ðŸ’„ #amandalepore #glamourgirl A girl can’t help itâ—ï¸Too distracting for the eyes â—ï¸Upstaged everyone in the photograph â—ï¸Oh well………..
